West Sacramento Youth Resource Coalition

Sactown logoThe Community

The city of West Sacramento incorporated in 1987, unifying the small neighboring communities of Bryte, Broderick and West Sacramento. A fast-growing Yolo County community, West Sacramento has a population of approximately 40,000, and that number is expected to double in the next 20 years. Thirty percent of the city’s residents are Hispanic, and there is a large and diverse immigrant population. The city is divided to the north and south by Interstate 80, and is bounded on the west by the Yolo Bypass and on the east by the Sacramento River.

The Coalition
West Sacramento Youth Resource Coalition’s vision for our community is to:

  • provide a safe place for youth and families
  • support healthy development and opportunities
  • support youth in realizing their potential

West Sac LogoWe formed the West Sacramento Youth Resource Coalition (WSYRC) with the common purpose of:

  • fostering broad-based and long-lasting community support for all youth in West Sacramento, including promotion and support of a wide range of youth-based services
  • increasing opportunities for participation and leadership for all youth in the planning processes that lead to sustainable opportunities for youth development throughout the community
  • building capacity to support and sustain increasing collaboration and cooperation between organizations in the coalition and their programs

WSYRC includes representation from the youth of our community. It is they who provide the important and authentic voice for developing and realizing the vision and purpose of the coalition.
